#2 Our county wanted to put a 100 bed facility for teenage sex offenders near us and close to our schools. The site they chose was a very remote place that would be hard to watch and was backed up against some areas where kids played and hiked. This was their answer to not having group homes within the city. I know not in my backyard. We finally got it stopped based on the fact that it was too remote and didn't have good transportation or medical facilities close enough.

#3 Hey, I heard there are a couple of slots open now in Bellingham.....

(Bellingham Wa. is where a couple of sex offenders were bumped off a week or so ago. I know kind of sick humor but its early in the morning here....).

#5 ACLU = Another Child Left Unprotected

#6 This is a specious argument: convicted pedophiles should be sentenced to life in prison without parole.

I'm serious. One of the reasons why we have prisons is to protect innocent people from predators. Research tells us that pedophiles, at least presently, can't be reformed -- once a pedophile, always a pedophile. The only known proven treatment is castration, physical or chemical, and the ACLU considers that 'cruel'.

So we have to balance the rights of a convicted pedophile to walk the ~~playgrounds~~ streets again versus the rights of a child, really multiple children, to live without be molested. That seems like an easy decision to me, but I'm just a conservative.

#8 "The ordinance, the suit claims, wrongfully imposes additional punishment on individuals who already have been punished under state law."

Problem: Sentencing includes releasing Pedophiles.
Solution: Sentencing makes 'em Dead-ophiles
